Subway stabbing arrest

Jamoy Phillip, 26, was arrested in Pennsylvania by U.S. Marshals for the deadly stabbing of a man on the No. 2 train in November.

A man from Brooklyn was arrested after he reportedly fled to Pennsylvania following the stabbing death of a gifted soccer player last month.

Jamoy Phillip, 26, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals, according to the NY Post. He was transferred to the NYPD Midtown South Precinct Monday.

Phillip was accused of stabbing Akeem Loney, 32, of Randall's Island in the neck on Nov. 21 while he was asleep aboard a No. 2 train as it entered Penn Station.

Police asked for the public's help tracking down Philip in the unprovoked attack. Images of the suspect were released by cops as he fled the station. He was charged with murder.
